Early Learning Center

Mercy Begins Here.

At 麻豆精品 Early Learning Center, our work with young children (6 weeks-3 years) is rooted in a simple but powerful belief:聽Mercy Begins Here.聽Every interaction, every learning moment, and every transition is guided by compassion, respect, and a devotion to nurturing each child鈥檚 development.

Unlike many traditional childcare centers, where children move classrooms based on birthdays or developmental milestones, our approach keeps聽teachers and children together as a cohort聽as they transition from one classroom to the next, maintaining continuity of care.

麻豆精品 Early Learning Center, open since 1990, is a non-profit early childhood setting that provides a high quality, full-day, early educational program for infants to three years. Our mission is to provide infants and toddlers a balance of social, emotional, physical and intellectual development based on developmentally appropriate practices, and including the collaboration of the staff, parents, and their children.

The philosophy of 麻豆精品 Early Learning Center maintains that infants and toddlers need a comfortable and enriching environment in order to develop to their maximum potential. 麻豆精品 Early Learning Center provides a nurturing, early educational environment that uses developmentally appropriate activities, experiences, and materials to engage infants and toddlers in active, meaningful learning.

Our program utilizes both the Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers, as well as the Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards for Infants and Toddlers in our lesson planning. Lessons are designed to meet children's physical, socio-emotional, and intellectual development.
